how to train in……Canine Bowen Therapy

I'm often asked for advice on what training and qualifications are required to become a Canine Bowen Therapist (in the UK). This page has been compiled to answer some of the most common questions.

If you've any questions please email info@taranet.co.uk and I'll try to help, or please contact the organisations mentioned. Find details on Canine Bowen Therapy in our Knowledge Hub page here.

Are qualifications needed?

Strictly speaking no. However, there are professional training courses in Canine Bowen Therapy that can be taken which lead to recognised qualifications.

Remember - It's an offence for any person, other than the owner of the animal, to treat an animal unless the permission of the vet in charge of the case or to whom the animal would be referred is sought and obtained. A Veterinary Surgeon is extremely unlikely to refer any customers to you unless you're qualified and insured.

What qualifications can you get & how do you get them?

There are courses you can complete in Bowen therapy for humans - see Bowen Therapy Professional Association below. Following that you can complete specialist courses in Bowen for dogs (and other animals).
